Had they changed the name/IP on this generation, you'd been right, but Madden is one continuous series, so I do believe it's justifiable to compare across console generations. When features were in Madden at one point, they do not become new features when they are relaunched. Just as people wouldn't think of the BigMac as a new burger if McDonalds decided to discontinue the BigMac and relaunch it 5 years later. Also please stop using the term 'next-gen games' about games on a 6 year old console - and you're not the only one, many people still use the term 'next-gen' about the PS3 and 360 all the time Sounds like my parents, who still think DVDs are a new technology. "Have you seen those new DVDs - they have instant rewind!" And I see that Adembroski didn't answer my questions about having overall rating based on the team's philosophy, so I guess they'll continue to stick with the old overall ratings... bummer!

First, I don't know why people continue asking AJ questions when he clearly stated he would not be answering any more questions in this thread.

What you are saying sounds great, but it doesn't make any sense at all in the real world. It took them years and years to develop the PS2 game to where it was. They can't just snap their fingers and make those features appear on a new engine. They didn't port the ps2 game over. Those features each have to be designed (this is the one step in the process that having the feature on a past gen game makes easier), developed, debugged and tested. Being a yearly title gives them an extremely limited development cycle and they have to pick and choose what features to spend a finite number of man hours on each cycle. This was the year player roles made it onto that list.

So, while just like you hate me saying next gen for current gen; I hate people saying they are bringing a feature back that has never been developed on this engine. It is wrong. The only thing they are bringing back is the idea of players having roles. That is it. So, if people want to complain about them not having original ideas, then that can been seen as a valid argument. I like seeing good ideas (old or new) developed for this game.

Can you link me to the video? I've always really wanted a draft show, so this is incredibly exciting.

I just want to reiterate, a lot of the questions asked in this thread will be answered in the blog coming out tomorrow (I believe). I'm holding off addressing anything until that time.

But I do want to respond to Nza, simply because of the time and effort he's put in to make PC Madden's franchise so outstanding and he deserves the attention. I know him from FF, which was introduced to me by Spin16 and Bakersville when I helped design and test features for Gommo's MaddenAmp for Madden 06.

I don't think they would have hired me if they hadn't made that committment.
